The Adarna

Biography:Taking their name from a mythical phoenix-like songbird in Filipino folklore, The Adarna [pronounced uh-darr-nuh] are the first band to ever coin their genre as "Jet City Rock (Jet Rock)."

Four years out of the gate and The Adarna have completed 5 North American National Tours while averaging 80-120 shows a year. Their recent national tour, The How Perceptive Tour, consisted of venues, colleges, and conventions (anime, comic & sci-fi) to support the release of their new album, How Perceptive. In Dec 2015 - Jan 2016, they were honored to perform internationally for the US troops in 5 countries in SW Asia as part of their Project Gratitude Tour.

The band has been featured on MTV, Myx TV, M&L TV and about 220+ media outlets/radio worldwide including Fox stations, Sirius XM, Armed Forces Radio, and Harley-Davidson retail. The Adarna's music videos are being aired in 78 countries and amassed an incredible 12K fan base in a short period of time.

This fiery, dynamic, and high-energy sound comes from a concoction of influences from old school rock-n-roll such as The Cult and Guns N Roses to modern rock such as Foo Fighters, Sick Puppies, Halestorm, and 30 Seconds to Mars.

The backdrop of The Adarna is a puzzle of cities, bands, craigslist ads, and finally, their debut EP (self-titled, 2012). The core of the band is built on rock-n-roll, sweat, and rebirth. The Seattle Weekly suggests that The Adarna are "melodic, polished, and destined for rock radio." They've shared stages with names like Hedwig and The Angry Inch, Smile Empty Soul, Art of Dying, Fail Safe Project, The Slants, The Crying Spell, The Cliks, Bobaflex, Ionia, Uzuhi, Peelander Z, Windowpane, and Burning Daylight (Lords of Acid, Powerman 5000, Cage 9 & Ministry).

Their most recent single, "Superman," gained much success in anime and comic fandom. This resulted in the placement of the song in a new superhero video game by Risen Phoenix Studios, to be released in 2016.

Their first single, "Honestly", aired to an audience of 10 million households on MYX TV, one of the largest Asian-American networks (ABS-CBN). The band earned this opportunity by being voted into the top 6 finalist.

Tastes Like Rock Magazine states The Adarna are "rising stars of modern rock who will find their way to the top of the heap of bands out there, so make sure you keep an eye out for them. Whether you are hard core rockers or alt or punk or even dance pop, you will love the Adarna."
